Deindustrialization = Demilitarization

The finance capitalists of the military idustrial complext (MIC) are interested only in profits, not in producing really good weapons. This has gone so far that, with a hugely inflated military budget, almost nothing of actual military value has been produced in decades. The Russians are already decades ahead of us. It is interesting that not only Scott Ritter but Andrei Martyanov voted for Trump, as I did. He also does not regret his vote because with the “cackling idiot” Kamala Harris we would have had a nuclear war by now. So here we are, with an obsolete “armada” floating just out of range of Iranian missiles as the Russians continue to kick ass in Ukraine. Trump is between a rock and a hard place with the midterms approaching.

Narratives should not be despised. To people who lack knowledge, there is nothing more seductive than a logical-sounding story.

But I always remember that “Narr” is a German word for “fool”.

Mr Martyanov says that the Israelis depict Iran as “a potential threat”.

Can anyone explain why almost everyone involved in Western governments seems to be so immoral that they are easily blackmailed?

I remember when any candidate for power was supposed to be intensely investigated in order to get a “security clearance”. Why? Because otherwise they might be blackmailed!

Yet today it seems pretty much the whole lot of them are blackmail targets. Which leads them to commit treason.

Quite a few Roman emperors spiralled down into all manner of vice. But instead of blackmailing them the Romans mostly just killed them. Thereby showing that they still had morals and mettle.
